Chapter 32: Chun Tao's bravery
"Xi Qingyan, don't get an inch here!"
"You have a daughter who has not been out of the cabinet, and all you mention is a dowry, do you know how to write the word shame?"
Mrs. Shangshu never expected that Xi Qingyan's first sentence was aimed at her!
"What does it have to do with my mother's dowry whether I marry or not!"
"Madam, my mother confessed when she was dying that her dowry was given to me, and now, I have returned to Shangshu Mansion alive, should you also return the dowry to me?"
Xi Qingyan didn't let a single step.
"Madame has nothing to do with my mother, and Madame Laosan will return the property in my mother's name."
"Sir!"
Xi Qingyan pressed step by step, and Mrs. Shangshu had no choice but to ask for help from Master Shangshu Xi on the side.
"Madam, all I want is my mother's dowry, and it has nothing to do with other things."
"My father is a man, and it is impossible to use my mother's dowry in private, madam, you don't have to let my father get involved in this matter, he is a man who stands up to the sky, and he does not participate in the battle of this back house."
Xi Qingyan saw Mrs. Shangshu's intentions and said with a smile.
This sentence excludes Lord Shangshu.
The dowry is a woman's confidence, and if the husband uses the woman's dowry, he will be laughed at.
Lord Shangshu is the most good-looking, how could he stand on Mrs. Shangshu's side in front of everyone?
"What Qingyan said is very right, madam, this matter will be done according to what Qingyan said."
"Anyway, those dowries belonged to Qingyan's mother, because Qingyan didn't grow up before, so she kept it with you for safekeeping, and now, Qingyan has also grown up, in my opinion, you can return the dowry to her."
"There are still so many things waiting for us to deal with in the palace, so don't grind here!"
Lord Shang Shuxi has little patience for the affairs of the back house, in his opinion, the man's pointing should be in the court, if he stays in the back house to fight, what is the difference between it and a woman?
“……”
Mrs. Shangshu couldn't get off the stage directly for a while.
She can see now that Xi Qingyan is deliberately targeting her.
Originally, she thought that her husband would say something for her, but she didn't expect that her husband not only didn't say a word, but he actually stood on Xi Qingyan's side!
"Madam, I believe that Madame must be thinking about how to repay my mother's dowry, in order not to make Madame worried, I prepared a list of my mother's dowry in advance, and handed it to Madame."
Xi Qingyan saw Mrs. Shangshu's face, and she deliberately misinterpreted it.
"Chun Tao, what are you doing here? Go to the brocade box by my bedside and bring me the list of my mother's dowry! ”
"Yes!"
Chun Tao saw that her young lady was no longer wronged, and she was also happy in her heart.
The eldest lady has been suppressed by the lady and the second lady over the years, obviously the master's original wife has left so many dowries for the miss, but her young lady is the worst one ever!
Now, the good days have finally come, and they can finally raise their eyebrows and live in Shangshu with their heads held high.
"Name...... List? What's that? Qingyan, when will you come back with something like that? ”
Mrs. Shangshu panicked for a while.
She originally wanted to pick out a part of Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry, and then tell Xi Qingyan that those were all the dowries, but she never expected Xi Qingyan to keep her mother's dowry list in her hand.
"Ma'am, is there anything to be fuss about? It is perfectly normal for my mother's dowry to be accompanied by a directory, and if there is no directory, I don't even know if it is my mother's. ”
"Madam, don't worry, these are my mother's dowry, I know that Madame also brought a dowry when she entered the mansion that day, I will definitely not covet Madame's dowry, as long as my mother's dowry!"
Xi looked at Mrs. Shangshu with a bad face, and deliberately teased.
"Well, Qingyan, you kid still has some conscience, and knows not to covet things that don't belong to you."
"Madam, according to this list, you will hand over all the dowries belonging to Qingyan's mother to her, Qingyan, you immediately go and contact the Valley Master of the Divine Doctor Valley, and the future of our Shangshu Mansion depends on you!"
Lord Shangshu stood by and watched, only thinking about his future and official fortunes, such a husband made Mrs. Shangshu on the side grit her teeth angrily!
"Okay, father, I'll go and contact the Divine Doctor Valley Master."
Xi Qingyan no longer refused, and when she was about to leave Shangshu Mansion, she called her personal maid Chun Tao over.
"Father, Chun Tao is the eldest maid in my house, and I will leave this dowry to her."
Xi spoke softly.
"Chun Tao, I copied another copy of my mother's dowry roster, and put it in the place just now, and after a while, Mrs. will send something over, and you will make a mark on the roster, my mother's dowry is very much, don't let Mrs. send one more, take advantage of Mrs."
Xi Qingyan found that Mrs. Shangshu saw her leaving, and there was a smug look in her eyebrows, so she deliberately ordered Chun Tao loudly.
"For ...... Why do I need two rosters? ”
Mrs. Shangshu was originally going to do something with the roster in her hand, but she didn't expect Xi Qingyan to have a backup.
"Xi Qingyan, are you wary of my mother? I have been taking good care of you for so many years, but I didn't expect to end up like this! ”
Mrs. Shangshu looked indignant and aggrieved, she deliberately blurred the focus of this matter, and wanted to fish in troubled waters to let this matter go.
Because Mrs. Shangshu can't get so much dowry now!
The original Mrs. Shangshu was a woman from a big family, so she had a rich dowry, but Mrs. Shangshu, the wife who remarried, did not have such a wealthy family at all.
So when she married into Shangshu Mansion, her dowry was really pitiful compared to Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry.
Over the years, in order to make the people in the house look up to her as a remarried lady, Mrs. Shangshu took Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry as a favor, and she increased the wages of the subordinates and improved their treatment.
Mrs. Shangshu used Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry to consolidate her position in Shangshu Mansion.
But Shangshufu is a bottomless pit.
No matter how much Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry is, it will always run out The day when Mrs. Shangshu saw that the treasures on the roster had been sold by her, she was even more restless.
She couldn't take out the dowry, and she couldn't stop Xi Qingyan's mouth.
For the sake of now, she can only put all the fault on Xi Qingyan, and then let Xi Qingyan no longer mention the return of the dowry.
"Madame, my mother left early, and everything she left me is with Madame, and I only have the dowry register."
"Although my mother left early, she couldn't bear to miss her, and when I thought of her, I took out the register and copied it."
"After so many years, I have been able to memorize the items on the roster, and if Madame doesn't believe me, you can go to my study and take a look, where there is still a dowry roster that I copied!"
Attack your shield with your spear.
Since Mrs. Shangshu blew the pillow wind in front of her father and deliberately framed her, then don't blame her for playing the family card and fighting back.
No matter what happens today, Xi Qingyan will not let her succeed.
"Madam, you also have a daughter, you should know that I miss my mother!"
"You're ......!!"
Mrs. Shangshu was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Miss, thank you for the reuse, Miss, please rest assured, the slave will definitely fulfill her duties and verify the items on this roster one by one!"
At the critical moment, Chun Tao chose to stand aside with Xi Qingyan.
The eldest lady of their family is brave enough and has given her the best example, if she still blindly hides behind the eldest lady, she will always be bullied!
"Chun Tao, you ......!!"
Mrs. Shangshu didn't expect that in this Hanlian Garden, not only Xi Qingyan had a backbone, but now even Chun Tao, a slave, also had a backbone!
"Madam, you go to my mother's dowry, and I go to the god doctor Gu Master."
"I hope neither my wife nor I will disappoint my father!"
Before Xi Qingyan left, he deliberately reminded Mrs. Shangshu.
These words sounded to Mrs. Shangshu's ears, and there was no difference between them and threatening her! But now she can't completely tear her face with Xi Qingyan!
"Chun Tao, wait for me to come back."
Xi Qingyan deliberately took a mouthful of spring peaches in front of Lord Shangshu before leaving.
Lord Shang Shuxi didn't understand what Xi Qingyan meant, so he announced in front of everyone.
"Chun Tao, you will be the first-class maid of my Shangshu Mansion in the future, and you need to restrain the minions of all sizes in this Hanlian Garden."
"Today's dowry roster is a test of your ability, do it well!"
"In the future, you only need to listen to the orders of the eldest lady alone."
Lord Shang Shuxi opened her mouth like this, and Mrs. Shang Shu knew that she had no way to punish Chun Tao in public.
"Yes, Chun Tao knocks on the master."
After Lord Xi gave his daughter a reassuring pill, he followed Xi Qingyan, who had not yet gone far, and left Shangshu Mansion together.
Lord Xi's words, Xi Qingyan also heard them.
"Thank you, father."
No matter what kind of purpose Lord Xi had, fortunately, her purpose of Xi Qingyan was achieved.
Chun Tao is her these days, and after investigation, she found that she was the most suitable person to be the big girl of Hanlian Garden, and now, after Lord Xi said this, the title of Chun Tao's big girl has been decided.
"Father, don't worry, my daughter is a member of Shangshufu, no matter what, I will look to Shangshufu, for the sake of your father."
If it sounds good, Xi Qingyan will also say it.
She not only has to do beautiful things, but also say beautiful things.
If she only knows how to bury her head in things, but does not know how to whitewash what she does, then she will suffer.
"Lightly ......"
Lord Shangshu used to think that the big woman had always been cold, cold to him, and didn't care about anything.
Hearing Xi Qingyan's words today, my heart was also touched.
"You child, don't hold it in your heart when you encounter things in the future, your father is the heaven of Shangshufu, if you find your father, after being verified by your father, you are indeed wronged, and your father will naturally make decisions for you."
When Xi Qingyan heard this, he sneered in his heart.
But he still pretended to be obedient and decent.
"Thank you father, daughter knows."
Xi Qingyan actually didn't expect Lord Xi's father at all, because Lord Xi had never played a role in Xi Qingyan's most helpless time, and now it makes no sense to say these salty and indifferent words.
"Father, the Divine Medicine Pavilion has arrived, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper a few words, Father wait."
After Xi Qingyan explained, he got out of the carriage.
Then he walked to the counter of the Divine Medical Pavilion, and played a play with the head of the Divine Medical Pavilion in front of Lord Xi.
Lord Xi waited for half an hour before he saw Xi Qingyan and the master come out of the Divine Medical Pavilion together.
"Lord Shangshu, our valley lord and the eldest lady are old friends, if the eldest lady has something to ask her, she can go to the capital in half a day!"
